Supreme Court to hear Planned Parenthood funding case
A case involving Planned Parenthood goes before the U-S Supreme Court. Justices will hear arguments about South Carolina’s effort to block any public health care dollars from going to Planned Parenthood. Federal law prohibits Medicaid money from paying for abortions and the Trump administration is backing the state’s case. Opponents argue that redirecting Medicaid funds will harm low-income citizens. It’ll be up to the high court to decide whether Medicaid patients can sue over their legal right to choose their own qualified provider.
